Ethical by Nature​Luxury by Choice

Eco-Luxury HEAD to TOE

More Lord started as a simple idea about betterment of ourselves, others less fortunate and the environment around us. Inspired by Entrepreneur and our Founder, JD Vance, the brand has quickly taken shape as an ethical clothing company with a social responsibility and a big beating heart, where we all want to make a difference and constantly question how we can do or be 'more'. This attitude guides our decision making process, where we source our clothing from, who we do business with and who we can help as a result.

SUPPLIER MATERIALSWe work with suppliers who knit their own fabrics, and dye them with GOTS approved chemicals, using low-water and controlled waste discharge processes, certified to OekoTex 100 Class I standard and conforming to REACH. Organic certified fabrics are dyed in a zero-discharge dyehouse, where all the water is recycled in a closed-loop system. We also work with suppliers who salvage the cuttings from organic cotton textile production, shred them and turn them back into soft cotton fibres. They then add fibres from recycled plastic bottles obtain a cotton and polyester blend, to be re-knitted into new fabric.

SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURINGOur suppliers are active contributors to the International Working Group on the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). They are certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard and the Global Recycle Standard. Starting with the sourcing of raw materials, they ensure full traceability of all fibres, choosing low impact cotton, Tencel® Lyocel, bamboo viscose and recycled polyester, 100% certified organic cotton and recycled organic cotton blended with recycled polyester.

​FAIR TREATMENT OF WORKERSWe operate a robust policy with regard to the fair treatment of workers and our suppliers adhere to the following minimum social responsibility criteria: No use of child labour, no use of forced labour, safe and healthy working conditions, legal labour contracts, payment of living wage, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, no discrimination against employees and no excessive hours of work. Our suppliers have been members of the Fair Wear Foundation since early 2006. All their manufacturing facilities are regularly audited for social compliance and are running active monitoring programmes in accordance with standards advocated by the International Labour Organisation, the Ethical Trading Initiative and other international bodies. The Fair Wear Foundation is governed by Modint (business association for manufacturers and distributors of fashion, interior design, carpets and textiles), CBW-MITEX (business association for retailers of interior design, fashion, shoes and sportswear), FNV Bondgenoten (federation of trade unions - service industry), CNV Dienstenbond (Christian trade union - service industry) and the Clean Clothes Campaign.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYAs well as our commitment to the environment, recycling and the treatment of workers in the clothing industry we also want to help the less fortunate here in the UK. We've partnered with the CIRDIC homeless drop in centre to help with fundraising and for every single More Lord garment purchased, we will donate an item of clothing to the centre, where it will be redistributed to those who really need it. We have much bigger plans than this though and are working on exciting new projects for 2019 which we cannot wait to share with you
